Canada's award-winning crime writer takes on a transatlantic serial killer
One of six book-length stories published in the Hamilton Spectator, Poison is a riveting piece of crime reporting that won a National Newspaper Award in 2004. Chronicling the life and crimes of serial murderer Sukhwinder Dhillon, who coolly dispatched two wives, two twin infants, and a friend just for insurance money, Poison details the trail that stretched from Canada to India, the work of the insurance claims investigator and the detectives who suspected wrong-doing, the forensics that sealed Dhillon's fate, and the legal twists and turns of the double murder trial that followed.
Jon Wells (Hamilton, ON, Canada) was named Journalist of the Year in 2004 for his "Sniper" serial, published in book format as Sniper (978-0-470-15546-2) in 2008.
